The Spotted Pig

The inciter of New York's gastropub trend sets the standard with a knockout team (including chef April Bloomfield) and new pub classics like herring "roll mops" stuffed with pickle; light ricotta gnudi and a giant, juicy, Roquefort-drenched burger. The comfy-cool atmosphere, a Michelin star and a homemade house ale lure in celebs, locals and tourists alike.
